Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Vinaigrette Base (5 minutes): Evenly distribute the Greek salad dressing among the 5 Mason jars. This acts as the base layer, preventing the lettuce from wilting. Ensure each jar receives approximately 2 fluid ounces.

02

Step

Layer the Vegetables (10 minutes): Add the halved grape tomatoes on top of the dressing, followed by the Kalamata olives and diced red onions. These layers add moisture and vibrant flavors that meld together as they sit.

03

Step

Add the Steak (5 minutes): Gently place 3 ounces of the cubed steak over the onion layer in each jar. This keeps the steak separate from the lettuce, preserving its tenderness and preventing it from becoming soggy.

04

Step

Pack the Greens and Cheese (5 minutes): Top the steak with 2 cups of chopped romaine lettuce in each jar, followed by 1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese. Gently press down to compact the layers, leaving some room at the top.

05

Step

Seal and Chill (2 minutes): Securely seal the jars and refrigerate for up to 3 days. This allows the flavors to meld, creating an even more delicious salad.

06

Step

Prepare Croutons (2 minutes): If using croutons, divide them into 5 small resealable plastic bags to maintain their crispness until serving.

For optimal flavor, marinate the steak in a simple Greek marinade (olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano) for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
Consider adding a layer of cucumber or bell peppers for added crunch and nutrients.
To serve, simply invert the jar into a bowl and gently shake to release the contents. Toss with the optional croutons and enjoy immediately.
If you don't have Mason jars, any airtight containers will work. Just be sure to layer the ingredients in the order specified to prevent the lettuce from wilting.
